Powering up the server
Power up the server as described in the documentation for your product.
Maintaining the server
Only certain server components are addable or replaceable as field replaceable units
(FRUs). Should any non-FRU component fail you must replace the entire server. Refer to
your product documentation for information on which components are FRUs.
Before attempting to perform hardware service procedures, review your service contract
because replacement of some server components by unauthorized personnel may void
service warranties.
Note
This document refers to hard drive modules as disk drive assemblies.
14

Handling field replaceable units (FRUs)
This section describes the precautions that you must take and the general procedures
that you must follow when removing and storing any field replaceable unit (FRU). The only
FRUs in the server are the disk drive assemblies and power supply modules. Depending
on the product in which the server is used, the disk drive assemblies may be hot-
swappable; that is you can replace a disk drive assembly while the server is running. To
determine if disk drive assemblies are hot-swappable, refer to your product
documentation. Regardless of the product in which the server is used, the power supply
modules are hot-swappable; that is you can replace a power supply module while the
server is running.
You should not remove a faulty FRU until you have a replacement available.
When you replace FRUs, you can inadvertently damage the sensitive electronic circuits in
the equipment by simply touching them. Electrostatic charge (ESD) that has accumulated
on your body discharges through the circuits. If the air in the work area is very dry,
running a humidifier in the work area will help decrease the risk of ESD damage. Follow
the procedures below to prevent damage to the equipment.
lProvide enough room to work on the equipment. Clear the work site of any
unnecessary materials or materials that naturally build up electrostatic charge, such
as foam packaging, foam cups, cellophane wrappers, and similar items.
lDo not remove replacement or upgrade FRUs from their antistatic packaging until you
are ready to install them.
lBefore you service a server, gather together the ESD kit and all other materials you
will need. Once servicing begins, avoid moving away from the work site; otherwise,
you may build up an electrostatic charge.
lUse the ESD kit when handling any FRU. Use an ESD wristband. To use the ESD
wristband (strap), attach the clip of the wristband to any bare (unpainted) metal on
the server; then put the wristband around your wrist with the metal button against
your skin. If an emergency arises and the ESD kit is not available, follow the
procedures in Emergency procedures (without an ESD kit) on page 15.
Emergency procedures (without an ESD kit)
In an emergency when an ESD kit is not available, use the procedures below to reduce
the possibility of an electrostatic discharge by ensuring that your body and the
subassembly are at the same electrostatic potential. These procedures are not a
substitute for the use of an ESD kit. Follow them only in the event of an emergency.
lBefore touching any FRU, touch a bare (unpainted) metal surface of the cabinet or
server.
lBefore removing any FRU from its antistatic bag, place one hand firmly on a bare
metal surface of the server, and at the same time, pick up the FRU while it is still
sealed in the antistatic bag. Once you have done this do not move around the room
or touch other furnishings, personnel, or surfaces until you have installed the FRU.
lWhen you remove a FRU from the antistatic bag, avoid touching any electronic
components and circuits on it.
lIf you must move around the room or touch other surfaces before installing a FRU,
first place the FRU back in the antistatic bag. When you are ready again to install the
FRU, repeat these procedures.
